So, hey, we’re kind of getting used to chatting with you on Zoom. Shoutout to our storytime families this Monday and Tuesday morning! Hello to our babies and toddlers, and to our preschool children who were so great at saying Abracadabra to meet our furry bunny singing the clapping song and playing peek-a-boo! (If you were at storytime Tuesday, you know what I mean!)
** If you need a dial in number for Zoom, because you don’t have a videocamera on your devices or are having other internet problems, please contact us: childrens@stratfordlibrary.org or chat on our main page at http://stratfordlibrary.org/
Here’s the list of next week’s events, including our ongoing bookgroup of The Secret Garden.
